Vamos a la Playa


The beach at Cabarete is beautiful. In the morning, the wind and waves are calm and the sun rises over the ocean. (It's on my list to get up early enough to see it). At 6:30 AM, there are just a few people walking on the beach, both locals and tourists, and one or two runners. Surfers start early as well, around 7 or 8. The beach gets windy by the early afternoon and you can see dozens of kite surfers and windsurfers flying by. The water stays warm all day, and the breeze keeps everyone cool enough to bear the sun. 







By the evening, the strands of lights on the beach bars start twinkling and you can hear all kinds of music. There is a Canadian bar, a sushi bar, and an Irish bar called "Jose O'Shay's" amongst many others. The food at the restaurants is pricey but definitely tasty. Thankfully I know people that have been to Cabarete before. They gave me the lowdown on which places are worth the money!

The sun sets over the land on the Western part of the beach and luckily the skies tend to stay clear all day! Walking or running on the Cabarete beach in the evening is lovely, and you could stay there all night until the dancing begins!
